Chapter 147

Qi Heng watched the interaction between the father and son and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

This is a good result, isn't it?

If he hadn't been dragged through time by the system, Xizi would have continued to sleep with Qi Lan... The same goes for Chu Xiu... No matter what impact the time travel would have on him, it would at least be good for them.

Chu Xiu could feel someone's gaze on him, and when he looked up, he met the Lord's eyes, which were smiling at him.

Suddenly, my heart beat uncontrollably faster.

"I'll clean up first. If you feel bored, you can go to the egg-laying room." He pursed his lips to hide his awkwardness, afraid of being seen, and tried to make his voice sound very calm.

"Egg-laying room?" Qi Heng was slightly surprised at first, but then he remembered what was going on.

He asked with some surprise: "Did you find anything?"

"Yes." Chu Xiu's men were clearing the dishes on the table, and he lowered his head slightly to hide the emotions in his eyes.

Qi Heng didn't notice Chu Xiu's change. His entire attention was on the egg-laying room that Chu Xiu mentioned.

He stood up and asked, "Where is the egg-laying room? I'll be there right away."

"Xizi knows, let him take you there."

Qi Heng looked at Xizi, who was still sitting on his special raised chair. Without hesitation, he picked up the little bug and said, "Father Xiong, take Xizi to the egg-laying room. Xizi, can you show me the way?"

Xizi was not afraid of being picked up suddenly. He smiled and hugged his neck and said, "Okay..."

"I'll take Xiongfu to see them."

"Father Xiong, we have to go outside first..." Xizi stretched out his hand and pointed the way.

Qi Heng walked in the direction he said. After walking for a while, he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to say hello to Chu Xiu before leaving.

Forget it, it’s not a big deal, Chu Xiu won’t care.

Thinking of this, Qi Heng no longer cared.

Compared to this, he cared more about something else.

To be honest, he didn't expect Chu Xiu to really do what he said... He always remembered the shock he felt when he first traveled to this world and saw the dead egg pit. Countless insect eggs were thrown into the huge pit, and the dense number of them was shocking to see.

If Yan Ning hadn't encountered him that day, Yan Le's female insect cub would have probably met the same fate as the other insect eggs in the pit. After all, without any treatment, Yan Le would have been little different from a dead egg.

With the example of Yan Le, and Qi Lan's previous statement that he had absorbed dissipated life energy, it is easy to infer that many insect eggs can actually be saved.

Therefore, after Qi Lan woke up, Qi Heng always asked Qi Lan to pay attention to the dead egg pit to see if there were any insect eggs that were destined to die, and to save them if possible.

He later told Chu Xiu about this.

Unfortunately, there weren't many insect eggs born around the Falling Star Day, and even fewer abandoned dead eggs, so there hadn't been any discoveries - only in Area 49.

The insect eggs in other areas are handled differently from those in Area 49. They are generally collected together and then transported to the dead egg pit. Even if those dead eggs could have been saved originally, they are basically beyond saving after such a long delay.

As time went on, Qi Heng gradually lost hope in this matter. The insect eggs that could be saved were not destined to die, and if they couldn't be saved...even he had no better solution.

*

The egg-laying room was in a different direction from the one he came from. It was in another corridor. The fiery red decoration inside startled Qi Heng who was standing at the door.

[Edelweiss: Draws energy to grow, can convert star power into energy to feed living things... Edible... 1 seed, 100 energy points...]

An explanation pops up on the system interface.

The fiery red edelweiss filled the entire space, covering the ground and walls, with the exception of the fungal mat hanging from the ceiling for lighting.

In the center of the entire space, there are several nests surrounded by tefflensteinia, and insect eggs are placed inside.

He counted them and found there were five in total.

Four of them have patterns and one has no pattern. Judging from the color of the eggshell surface, the condition of both eggs is not very good.

Although there is still a breath of life, it is obviously very weak. Even if the rush converts energy into energy and feeds it back to the insect eggs, it will take a considerable amount of time to improve the condition of the insect eggs.

Qi Heng put Xizi down and half-knelt in front of the insect eggs. He placed his hands on the five insect eggs one by one to sense the situation inside.

...The situation is not optimistic.

I don’t know if Xizi noticed something, but at this time he was just looking at the insect eggs quietly, not as lively as usual.

After a moment, Qi Heng withdrew his hand and said to A0 in his heart.

[Is there any solution to their current situation?]

With the perception of spiritual power, the situation inside the insect egg can be seen at a glance.

The cubs inside the eggs were fully developed and had a slight heartbeat, but they did not have the strength to break the eggs and get out.

It seems that they have been in the insect eggs for quite some time. Normally, insect eggs will suffocate to death inside the eggs if they do not break out of the shells for too long. These insect eggs did not encounter such a problem because they were brought back by Chu Xiu and then nurtured with the star power converted from wick edelweiss.

But even so, the longer the time goes, the lower the hope of breaking out of the shell.

[Your Excellency, you can try to wake them up.]

[As the leader of the Tianjia Zerg, you should be able to awaken them with your power. As for the rest, it's up to them...]

[Will my blood be of any use to them?] Qi Heng asked.

[It's useful, but I don't recommend taking such extreme measures. You can achieve the same effect using mental power.]

[Their situation is much better than the little prince you encountered earlier. They have no shortage of power to break the insect eggs.]

After hearing what A0 said, Qi Heng gave up the idea of ​​bleeding himself. Since it was not necessary, there was no need to do it to himself.

He gently placed a strand of mental power on the first insect egg, which had gorgeous purple patterns.

Obviously, this is a female insect egg.

The young female insect inside the egg closed its eyes, with weak mental power scattered around its body, and its perception of the outside world was very weak.

Qi Heng gradually gathered the scattered mental power of the female insect cub in the insect egg. He was very careful during the process because the mental power of the young insect cub was inherently fragile and he had to be careful.

Soon, the spiritual forces that were gathered together became more active and began to influence their masters in turn.

Xizi had no idea what his father was doing, but he had a vague feeling that it was something very important. So he didn't make a sound to disturb his father. Instead, he squatted down like his father, cupping his hands around his cheeks and staring curiously at the insect egg that his father was caressing.

Under Qi Heng's guidance, although the female insect cub in the insect egg still had its eyes closed and had not opened them, its state had changed to "awake".

"It's time to wake up."

Qi Heng used his mental power to connect with the female insect cub, constantly calling out to the cub to instill the idea of ​​breaking out of the shell, and step by step let the cub break the eggshell that separated it from the outside world.

Only at the step of breaking out of the shell can the cubs be helped by external force; they must rely on their own strength to get out of the egg.

The young insect inside the egg listened to the sound and instinctively began to dislike the environment it was in. Following this thought, it began to bang its body against the inner wall of the eggshell.

Xizi looked at the insect egg that suddenly moved, and opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Ah, the egg is moving."

"Father Xiong, you are so amazing! This is the first time I've seen the eggs move. They never moved before." Xizi tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked expectantly, "Father Xiong, is he coming out?"
